AUTOMATIC CARBURETlNG-LAM P.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,574, dated February 23, 1886.

Application filed January 8, 1886. Serial No. 188,005. g (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JULIUS LEEDE, a cilizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automatic Carbureting-Lamps; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in automatic carbureting-lamps, and is especially applicable to the lamp described in my application No. 182,393, filed November 10,

The invention consists in the combination of a siphon arranged within a reservoir to take the generated gas or vapor from a point near the bottom of the vessel and conduct it upward to near the top thereof and thence to the burner, as hereinafter described, for producing and maintaining a circulatory current through the reservoir from and to the burner.

In the drawing forming a part of the specification the figure is asection of a lamp, showing the relative position of the parts and the course of the circulatory current.

A is the reservoir having an arm or arms,

a, extending therefrom, as shown, with the pendent bells a a attached to conduct the current of air induced by the heat of the flame to the reservoir.

B is the hollow standard forming the gas or 3 5 vapor conduit from the reservoir to the burner. This conduit extends from near the top of the vessel, but below the level of the inlet of the arms a a, and is then curved in the form of a gooseneck, so that its extrem- 0 ity comes near the bottom of the vessel, or has a hood, I), adjusted over the upper end, as

shown, so that the gas or vapor generated in the reservoir will be taken from near the bottom, whatever the volume of carbureting ma- 4 5 terial may be.

I propose to use any good absorbent of gasoline or other hydrocarbonrotten willowwood being preferredto hold the liquid in suspension. Acap is provided at the top,

through which the absorbent and the hydrocarbon are introduced, and a petcock, c, at the bottom to draw ofif any excess of liquid which may by accident or otherwise have acoumu lated in the reservoir. In practice the petcock is left open while the carbureting material is being introduced. WVhen the absorbent is saturated, the liquid drips through the petcock and indicates that the lamp is filled.

VViregauze diaphragins w ware placed over each of the openings leading into the reser- 6o voir, for obvious reasons, and may be placed any where in the pipes or conduits for additional security, if desired. I also attach to the bottom of the hood I), or otherwise adjust around said hood, an annulus, s, of wiregauze, to keep the absorbent from settling around and clogging the passage to the mouth of the siphon or pipe I).

For conveniencein the manufacture and assemblage of the parts of my improved lamp, I provide the reservoir with a boss, (2, and

screw it onto the standard, and then screw the upper part of the conduit from above into the same boss, clamping the wire-gauze between these parts. By reason of this siphon-like return-tube pressure at the burner is not affected by variations in the amount or volume of carbureting material in the reservoir.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. In an automatic carbureting-lamp having bells over a burner, the combination of a reservoir, 2. siphon or goose-neck leading from near the bottom of the reservoir, and a conduit for maintaining a circulation from and to the burner through the reservoir.

2. In an automatic carbureting-lamp, bells over the burner, and conduits for forcing currents of air from and to the burner through the reservoir, in combination with a siphon for drawing the gas from the lower portion of the reservoir and delivering it to the'burner at a constant and equal pressure.

3. In an automatic carbureting-lamp, the 5 combination of a burner, a hydrocarbon-reservoir, a plurality of bells or deflectors located above the burner, a siphon leading from the lower portion of the reservoir, and a continuous circuit from the burner through the bells [0O and reservoir to burner, substantially as de- In testimony whereof I affix my signature in scribed.
